saw this on another forum when he first started it. it looked awesome!! just going read it now see how he has got one so nice one for posting it:)

I like this kind of conversion. I'd really like to do something similar myself, with a highly unlikely vehicle.

how good does this look

I don't get cars like this. Its got as much to do with the original car as a Z-cars mini

could have put the straps on properly thats an accident waiting to happen

Yeah, Awesome build I was showing the old man this, he's got a Concours Pickup & the old girl's got a Saloon; he didn't fancy taking the grinder to his though....!! Cracking build mind...

Mate of mine always fancied doing something similar with an Impreza and Campervan, would've been interesting. (Campervan shell, Impreza chassis & running gear of course. Vice versa would be a bit lame).

Wonder if he ever got round to trying it...

would anyone have the measurement from the front of a skyline engine, to the front diff handy? Reckon you could get a clubby front to clear it?

ooooh, Just found a pic. I reckon with some serious work you would get one in one. Right, next project. skyline engined clubby estate.

No unexpectedly I would like to build an A35 with Sierra Cosworth running gear.

Its been done more than once with Mk1 Escorts so how hard can it be ?.

the straight 6(2JZ) in my supra is around 3feet long, iirc the skyline(RB26) has the same bore but shorter stroke making the engine length roughly the same

1/4mile in 13.2sec @ 111 terminal on 15psi

He chopped 9" out of the nissan's floor and had a custom prop made.

If you're using the donor car's floor, then the bulkhead can come further into the mini and you can sit a bit further back, like the mig's etc with the bucket seats behind the cross member. Anything is possible....

I do like that, especialy when it looks kind of standard with big wheels rather than not even resembling the look of a moggy.

Think were all missing the point tho, this is a conversion.

I am not keen of these kinds of conversions. I mean it's just a Silvia under cover.
One can't really call it a Minor, can we ?

Maybe it's because I am towards engines rather than bodywork kind of guy ?

Bt obviously it is a challenge and one properly built car.

Rusty by nature

Noway you would get a skyline lump in a clubby front! Its tight in the S13 bay!

Got to admire the work but im not the biggest fan of what is essentially a well done cut and shut. Space frame or nothing

I want to put a 7MGTE into a B2000 mini truck.

good luck fitting an rb26 in a mini lol We have enough headaches just putting them in liners lol

TTFN Pete

Pffft!! youve got it easy! your enigne bay was designed to house a 6 pot!!!

yeah i`ve watched this conversion from early on & i "REALLY" like what he`s done & how it`s going.

I`ve always been keen on a clean stock std looking split-window duel-cab Kombi ute,,, with maybe just a set of mags or wide stock looking rims & chrome hub-caps, , , but with full noise GTR 4x4 turbo skyline running gear under it

make for a pretty good tow car for the race mini hey?

straps like that should be just below the centre line of the wheels, the straps will slip over the top of the tires when fitted like that with somthing as small as a bump or pothole let alone a shunt, if fitted under the centre line the the straps cant slip or come off in a shunt

With my best multimedia skills:

Tadaaaaaaa

Wolfie i disagree surely theyre correct how they are as the straps pulled tight, if you fitted like you say they would slip
off after
